Counterfeit Silver Tollars.

\ new counterfeit OF the silver dollar
of lS&4 SAYS an exchange, is being worked
upon tradesmen and others. The bogus dol
lar is not very dangerous to a careful observ-
er, but i'll any place where rapid business is
done ii may be successfully passed, and il
should he watched for. The counterfeit is
evidently made by casting from mold taken
from genuine piece. 1t is not stamped in 4
die In color it is somewhat lighter than gen
uine silver. having clean. soapy appearance
and feel which prevents ordinary grit or dust
from adhering to It. The lines of the engrav-
ing are not at all sharp, ike the original, and
the coin is no'iceably thicker. the milling lines
on the edge longer. and the diameter slightly
shorter. When dropped the coin does not
ring clearly like silver nor drop fiat like lead,
but it pmits 4 sharp, metallic noise. The IS
in the word plurihuS is notceah!y bad, and
the imperfect casting OF the old English letters
in the motto, ..in God W. Trust" gives the
appearance of a line running through the let
tiers, rs though the genial counerieiler was
not quite sure Of the sentiment. Blind per.
sons may tell the bogus coin when dropped
into their hats by the weight, il being lighter
than the genuine. l. is also softer Than sill
